Thank you so much for making this such an awesome launch. Thank you for your bug reports, steam reviews, and kind words ❤️

Yesterday and this morning we have put out two hotfixes that address the majority of issues that have come up for some players (thankfully these seem to be only affecting a small group of players, but we want to make sure everyone has the best experience possible!)

Flock Around Version 1.0.7 and 1.0.8

  • We upgraded our internal engine. This should fix that darn Black Screen bug that some people have been seeing

  • Enabled Occlusion Culling on many more surfaces, for some folks this should lead to a dramatic improvement in framerate.

  • Reduced the Shiny Alert sound volume (we will look into more changes to this sound in the future)

  • Adjusted Shiny spawn rates

Bug Fixes

  • Changing render scaling should no longer break... everything (previously: identified incorrect birds in photos, misaligned nameplates, misaligned binocular highlights, probably some other stuff too)

  • Moving between biomes no longer flickers you out of reality (aka: moved some occluder boundaries)

  • Birds are more likely to perch on your head

  • Some terrain adjustments

  • Some textures are less crunchy

Please continue to let us know about issues you are experiencing by joining our Discord so we can get more date to diagnose the problems! We'll keep the patches coming, and hopefully some new birds will fly into Goose Lake soon! Also our friend (and the composer for Peglin) Crashtroid made this absolute BANGER to celebrate the game's launch. https://crashtroid.bandcamp.com/track/flock-around-as-if-it-was-peglin-ft-sienna-blumstengel
